getting an artist from a few similar APIs

#spotify
https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/52341

#last.fm
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0?method=artist.getinfo&mbid=52341&api_key=a04961fe4330211ff149a949dfabef51&format=json

#deezer
http://api.deezer.com/artist/52341

maybe you could just do this?

Artist.objects.get(id="0LcJLqbBmaGUft1e9Mm8HV")

With django-wham you can use REST APIs as though they were Django Models

regular django query:

TwitterUser.objects.get(screen_name="melbdjango").tweets.all()

django-wham query:

TwitterUser.objects.get(screen_name="melbdjango").tweets.all()

The only difference is that django-wham gets the results
from a remote REST API, rather than from a database.

This url is requested behind the scenes:

  GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=djangowham

sometimes Web APIs don't have 

all the methods you would like

...but django-wham can do any query the Django ORM can do

TwitterUser.objects.get(screen_name='DjangoConAU').tweets.all().order_by('-retweet_count') 

because it inherits from django.db.models.Model

class Tweet(WhamModel):
    id = WhamCharField(max_length=100, primary_key=True)
    text = WhamTextField() 

class WhamModel(models.Model):
    objects = WhamManager()
